Challenges of virtual/hybrid teaching

Jeffrey Baier, Superintendent in the Los Altos School District, inspires a passion for learning in students and staff.  With more than 20 years of experience in education, Jeff has served students as a teacher, assistant principal and principal, spanning elementary through middle school, all within the Los Altos and Mountain View School Districts in California.  He is passionate about improving learning experiences for students and has challenged the status quo in a top performing public school district to ensure students are prepared for their futures.  Jeff was among the first to develop blended learning environments with Khan Academy and has led the effort to bring numerous innovative programs to LASD.  When not focused on schools, you can find Jeff with his family, with his camera, at a lacrosse field, or all three simultaneously.
